Guest guest Posted July 27, 2000 Report Share Posted July 27, 2000 sindea, here's just some more proof that the recommendations from these dr.s just doesn't work!! how many people do you know who subject themselves to the flu vax each year and get it anyway. try to maybe have your husband adjust his diet as much as he can--even if it's only during his " flare up " times--to a more healthy, natural, raw approach. between this and some well researched herbs maybe it'll be enough for him. my husband has always been in the same boat as yours. every year we'd go thru that horrible sounded cough and into bronchitis, followed of course, by stronger and stronger antibiotics. well, we've now worked on getting ourselves healthier by building stronger immune systems and thankfully the last 2 years--no bronchitis. i hope it lasts, because we're done with these powerful antibitoics they kept perscribing. good luck to you!! brigit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2000 Report Share Posted July 27, 2000 I have had bronchitis a couple of times (but interestingly enough, not since my partner and I started eating whole, organic foods). I have found a combination formula of wild cherry and slippery elm bark to work much more effectively than antibiotics. sindea wrote: UGG. My husband tends to get bronchitis each year with the change of seasons. Well, his doc wanted to prevent that this year and given him both a flu shot and a pneumonia shot in the same arm and guess what? He had an eaxtra bicep from the side effects (that is how swollen it got to be!) and then he still got bronchitis anyway! And what annoys me is that this doc is more holistic in her approach than most MD's...Sindea http://www.geocities.com/camerasindea/HURFamily.html www.hurphotography.com Pneumonia Vaccine Hi Listmates, I thought y'all might be interested to know that in my home state (Arkansas) they have been running ads on tv for the pneumonia vaccine. I have seen one (and I don't watch that much tv). They showed a guy in line at the grocery store wearing a full haz-mat outfit, and a voice discussed being safe from infection. Nothing like a little fear-mongering among the masses. What a waste of air! Wms __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 I know the shots last 10 years cause I was told that when I got my shot.They give it to most senior citizens and they told me I would have to have another shot at 64 to maintain the shot.I got it when I was 54.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Thanks Barbara! I will be getting both.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I didn't have any choice. My NP gave it to me a couple of years ago when I was first diagnosed, along with flu shot and Bactrim until my CD4's came up.The pneumonia shot she gave me lasts several years. I'm not sure how effective it is (what percentage) but I didn't get pneumonia when my cd4s were really low. Peace,Samguyinsouthala@...guyinsouthala@...

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Does the vaccine work against bacterial pneumonia 100%?Nothing in medicine is ever 100%, but the vaccine is excellent protection against pneumonia caused by one bacterial species, Pneumococcus. This bacterium causes a really bad and frequently lethal pneumonia.The vaccine offers no protection against Pnuemocystis pneumonia or streptococcal pneumonia.JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
